Pasture Raised Poultry from Our Family to Yours

About KW Homestead

Welcome to KW Homestead!

The KW in our name stands for Kuska Wiñasun (pronounced “koo-sku wean-yuh-sun”). Kuska Wiñasun means “let’s grow together” in Quechua, the language of the Inca. The Inca lived centuries ago in South America, mostly throughout what is now modern day Peru. Moquegua, a small town in Peru, is where we met and fell in love. We were both studying abroad, through different schools; Jason through University of Florida and Emma through UNC Greensboro. After realizing that we were meant to be together, we embarked on an adventure of long distance coordination and perseverance!

One of our heritage turkeys, caught quietly considering the meaning of life.

We take extra care to raise and harvest all of our animals humanely. When they’re not eating wild, native plants, grass, bugs, and other small creatures, our animal clan is fed sprouted grains and non GMO feed from local farmers. All of our animals live their lives on pasture and all have free range of the woods or fields. Some of our animals range over our entire property (those animals that do a good job of staying out of the road)!

One month old goslings and 2 week old ducklings graze in the backyard.

Hey man,
Thanks for the love and well wishes. We miss you here, and I think about you all the time.
When you get back you guys definitely have to come down and visit us.
I hope your doing well man, and staying safe. Thank you for everything.

I saw your mother at Southern Lights and asked about you. You are just down the road from me and Carter as we live here in the Haw River State Park in northern Guilford County. Your mom told me what you and your husband are doing and it sounds wonderful. I hope to go through your blog and see all your adventures. Speaking of Quechua, you might remember Carter’s father is from Bolivia and Carter spends a lot time in Bolivia and South America. He has had a very interesting life! Hope to stay in touch.
